I haven't read Saito's books, or looked too deeply into degrowth as a movement. I just read this article and thought it made some good arguments against what it claims are Saito's understandings of Marx. I'm not sure I agree with everything, but I thought it was interesting enough to share.

:fedcobin: gunpoint

but for real its beside the point whether marx said exactly what saito says he said, the whole world can't live like average american, having 2 tonnes of metals dug up for personal movement, shoveling yearly consumption of someone in sahel to heat up house leaking shit, and buying new tvs every 5 years. tv should work 20 years, phones should be used for 10 years etc. the fuck it is, except degrowth, degrowth of consumption?
